  • Publication number: 20180125822
    Abstract: Provided are low-volume, safe for injection formulations of dantrolene yielding significant advantages over the currently approved and marketed dantrolene for malignant hyperthermia (MH) threatening anesthetic crisis. Once dantrolene can be made immediately available to patients triggered of MH, the anesthesiologist will be able to focus exclusively on the management of the patient's physiologic status in this complex and evolving crisis, not on the laborious and time consuming reconstitution process of the rescue agent. The low volume, safe for injection formulations of dantrolene have significant advantages over currently used approaches to the prevention and treatment of pumphead, and other neurological, cognitive and motor dysfunction incident to iatrogenically or trauma induced situations of altered blood flow, including those incurred during surgical procedures involving CPB or related procedures, as well as those incurred during non-normothermic episodes caused iatrogenically or by disease.

  • Publication number: 20180125833
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for inhibiting lung diseases in smokers and non-smokers by blocking growth factor signaling using an antihypertensive drug, and more particularly, to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing lung cancer or emphysema, which contains an antihypertensive drug as an active ingredient. The present invention suggests a novel use of an antihypertensive drug which is being used in clinics, to prevent lung diseases, and therefore, may be readily applied to early lung cancer or a lung cancer high-risk group, and particularly may exclude safety concerns accompanying clinical application of novel drugs, thereby increasing clinical applicability. In addition, enormous costs and time needed from development to clinical use of new drugs may be dramatically reduced.
